Jesse Scheinin (b. 1989, Santa Cruz, CA; based in Brooklyn) is a composer, producer, and woodwind instrumentalist creating music at the nexus of jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental pop. 

He releases orchestral pop as Jesse and Forever, composes original scores for dance and film as Jesse Scheinin (Creations for Choreography, Vol. 1), and explores ritualistic art music as Ino Zino Silence Ensemble (forthcoming).

Jesse’s music has been commissioned or presented by the Paul Taylor Dance Company, Boca Tuya Dance, Baryshnikov Arts Center, and the CUNY Dance Initiative, and performed at venues including Jacob’s Pillow, 92nd Street Y, and the Annenberg Center for the Arts. 

As a performer, Jesse has appeared at venues such as Coachella, the Sydney Opera House and Jazz @ Lincoln Center.

His forthcoming work includes a collaborative orchestral jazz album with virtuoso saxophonist Eddie Barbash.

Jesse is also a curator of multi-sensory events: The Bach Store (as featured in the New York Times) and the Forever Festival (presenting NYC avant-garde performance artists).

Jesse studied jazz saxophone and classical clarinet at Berklee College of Music, where he was mentored by Joshua Redman, Joe Lovano, and Danilo Pérez.
